[ Man Speaking Latin ]
[ Latin ]
Faye, Charlie.
Dr. Lightman.
I'm sorry about, uh, Dave and Sue.
Yeah. To lose their son and then die in a car crash--
Life is so unfair.
[ Continues In Latin ]
It's time.
[ Charlie ] It's about time they killed this monster...
for what he did to our nephew.
Death by injection is too good for this unrepentant son of a bitch.
Yeah. Well, what can I say?
[ Continues In Latin ]
You okay?
Don't answer that.
I'll shut up now.
[ Continues In Latin ]
[ Monitor Beeping ]
[ Beeping Continues ]
[ Man On P.A. ] Do you have any last words?
- I'm an innocent man. - Go to hell.
The Pied Piper was a ratcatcher who was tricked and didn't get paid.
He stole the children of Hamelin so the rich would remember the day.
I didn't take little Rex.
The Pied Piper did.
I need to talk to the governor.
Uh, no. He's tellin' the truth when he says he didn't take the boy.
Could I speak to him? Have you lost your mind?
Is he on the phone? Is that the governor on the phone?
The governor can't speak to you. He can't, or he won't?
- [ Guard ] Come on. - I'm good. [ Mumbles ]
[ Man ] * Dream, send me a sign *
* Turn back the clock *
* Give me some time *
* I need to break out *
* Make a new name *
* Let's open our eyes *
* To the brand-new day **
For two weeks this guy makes terrifying phone calls to the family,
kidnaps their eight-year-old son, and brutally murders him.
He deserves to die. Big talk is easy when you're not the executioner.
You think I'm afraid of that?
Show me the switch. I'd be happy to throw it.
Well, it's gross that he's had three hots and a cot for 17 years.
But the real issue is that Jason Wilkie randomly chose my nephew.
It could have been anyone's son.
Putting him to death-- That's about ensuring public safety...
and deterring other crimes.
That was Charlie Sheridan, uncle of the murder victim speaking to us earlier.
Jason Wilkie never confessed...
to the kidnapping and gruesome murder...
of eight-year-old Rex Sheridan 17 years ago.
A last-minute stay of execution...
could only come from the governor of Virginia.
I can't believe Lightman is in there.
Why is Lightman in there? It's the first case he worked on...
that led to a death penalty conviction.
- Plus, there's the Zoe connection. - This just in--
Jason Wilkie was just pronounced dead,
the 104th person to die by execution in the state of Virginia...
since 1976. [ Knocking On Door ]
Hi. I need the case files for the Wilkie trial--
The transcripts, the tapes, the lot. Go to City Hall.
I can't. It would take too long.
And you kept copies. I know you did.
You made the paper. Look, it's over, Cal.
Please. For both our sakes.
Look, I saw Wilkie lie dozens of times during his trial.
All right? But last night he was telling the truth.
Wait. So you're telling me, the woman who prosecuted Wilkie...
based in large part on your science, that you got it wrong?
- No, I didn't get it wrong. - When? Last night or 17 years ago?
- Both. - [ Scoffs ] How is that possible?
I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
- I didn't do it. I swear. - Do what?
Oh, good. I thought you guys were fighting about me.
We're not fighting. We're just having-- We're not fighting.
We're having a work-related discussion.
You know.
So hey. Congrats on making the paper.
I thought teenagers didn't read newspapers anymore.
They do when their dad goes nuts at an execution.
- Don't let it go to your head, all right? - You ready for school?
Uh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. I don't need a ride.
Hannah's parents just got her a new Prius-- hint, hint--
so she's picking me up.
Look, I need those files, Zoe, please.
[ Ben ] I need you to hear something.
Now, this is the call that Rex Sheridan's parents received 17 years ago,
just days before he was kidnapped.
[ Childish Voice ] * Jack and Jill went up the hill *
* To fetch a pail of water *
* Jack fell down Broke his crown *
* And Jill came tumbling after **
[ Chuckles ]
I'm gonna get you. [ Chuckles ]
Ready or not, here I come. [ Ben ] All right, now, get this.
You know Faye and Charlie Sheridan,
the aunt and uncle of that same little boy that got murdered?
Well, Mrs. Sheridan came back home...
after taking the kids to school this morning--
Found this message on their answering machine.
[ Same Caller ] * Ring around the rosie *
* Pocket full of posies *
* Ashes, ashes *
* We all fall down *
I'm gonna get you.
Ready or not, here I come.
[ Laughs ]
- Oh, my God. - Yeah.
Well, maybe some clown is just playin' silly buggers, you know,
after watching Wilkie on TV all week.
No. Look at the sound-wave analysis.
This is new F.B.I. software.
Each voice has features as unique as fingerprints.
The two callers are identical.
- Seventeen years apart. - This is no copycat.
Do you think that Jason Wilkie could have made this recording before he was arrested?
Well, if the governor had taken my bloody phone call, we'd know for sure, wouldn't we?
Well, doesn't that prove it wasn't Jason Wilkie?
That we helped execute an innocent man?
[ Indistinct ]
[ Sighs ] I could do this alone, if you'd prefer.
You think I got the wrong person 17 years ago, don't you?
Yes.
I think you could have made a mistake.
So do you.
Zoe was a young prosecutor,
eager to get a conviction,
and you wanted to help her.
- You still do. - Do you charge by the hour for this?
Classic deflection.
Classic Cal Lightman.
Now, look, I saw a man executed last night. Go on.
Well, I think I saw something on his face that I'd never seen before.
Well, what did you see then? Um--
Well, I don't really know what it was.
But you need to follow it to the ends of the earth no matter what,
knowing you.
All right. Come on, then.
[ Gillian ] Have you reached your children?
Abby and Brady are upstairs. Our oldest son, Oliver--
He's driving back to college in Baltimore.
We haven't been able to reach him yet, but the F.B.I. is waiting for him there.
Oh, my God. Brady just turned eight.
Rex was eight when he was abducted.
- ** [ Stereo: Loud Rock ] - Vinyl-- Still the best, right?
It's brilliant. It's the best.
The heavy metal kids. They're fantastic, they are.
** [ Stops ]
Excuse me. What are you doing?
I thought you might have had a safe.
- That sign means a lot to us. - Oh, really?
The Home Fed Diner is the first property my father purchased.
Oh, no offense intended.
- So where's the tape? - What tape?
The one that you used to fake the voice mail you just got--
One from 17 years ago-- The creepy nursery rhyme tape?
That one. Where is it?
You think we faked that message?
Oh. Alphabetized books.
Oh, that's a red flag if ever I saw one.
[ Gillian ] Hey! Wait a minute!
Charlie? You've gone a little quiet all of a sudden.
You know, for someone who's got such a loud mouth.
- You can't come in here and-- - The message that you claim you got--
That was a hoax. I mean, you've been on TV for years.
You've made a career out of getting Jason Wilkie executed.
Now he's been done, hasn't he?
So how you gonna maintain your victim status?
What's wrong with you?
First Wilkie did it, then he didn't. Now this?
Either you enjoy inflicting emotional pain,
or you're a complete fraud, Dr. Lightman.
Well, you're right.
Sorry. Um, I'm sorry about the books.
You know, but sometimes you have to use a pickax to get at the truth.
Do you know what I mean? You may work with the F.B.I., but I want you out of my house.
Oh, I understand. Completely.
The F.B.I. initially had four other suspects besides Jason Wilkie--
A school bus driver, a homeless man,
a phone company repairman and a supervisor.
You know, they never pinpointed the actual source of the calls.
Couldn't trace 'em for some reason.
Does Lightman seem weird to you?
Uh, he's rude, impatient, distant--
Seems pretty normal to me. Yeah, but isn't that weird?
He may have helped execute an innocent man,
and he has no emotional reaction?
Doesn't that make him a sociopath? Or it's just a mask.
Where is he? I know he's here.
Dr. Lightman's at a meeting across town. Can I help you, Mr. Wilkie?
Dr. Lightman lied back when he said Jason committed that crime.
You turned Jason in to the authorities.
Because I thought he might be involved somehow.
Dr. Lightman is the one who said he was sure.
He's the one who convinced the jury to put my brother on death row.
The facts of this case have not changed.
The calls are happening again. I saw it on the news.
The real killer is still alive, and Jason is-is--
He's dead now, and--
What have I done?
Sir, why don't we go sit down? No. Listen.
You tell Lightman that I am suing his ass,
and the state of Virginia, in the wrongful death of my brother.
All right, Faye, we got this whole system set up...
so that when your home phone rings, it'll ring here as well.
Which will keep me out of your hair.
[ Ben ] Look, if another call comes in, don't panic, okay?
Just stick with the script that Dr. Foster has wrote out for you.
Let's rehearse again.
- [ Phone Ringing ] - Is that him?
Hello? [ Man ] Mrs. Sheridan?
It's Noah Benson. I-It's my son's roommate.
- Noah, is everything all right? - Uh, an F.B.I. agent is here looking for Oliver.
He's still not here yet, and no one knows where he is.
So Oliver was auditioning for the "Men of Fincher" college calendar.
We found his schedule on his computer.
He had an appointment with a photographer this afternoon,
which may have been the last person to have seen him.
What aren't you telling me, eh?
Look, there's a lot of people down at headquarters...
that don't think you should be involved in this case.
Why? 'Cause it's too personal?
Or 'cause they think I've lost my marbles,
or I've already made a mistake and got an innocent man executed?
They didn't say that. Yeah, but you did-- Right there.
Look, I'm not the enemy here, Lightman. Really?
Really. Prove it.
Oliver Sheridan was here for about, uh, 30 minutes.
Do you have any idea where he went? None.
See, I was expecting lads in varsity jackets.
- Not meat and two veg. - Yeah, well, that's what sells.
Yeah, fair enough. So where's your pictures of Oliver then?
Uh, it's on the second shelf.
Red folder. I'm on a deadline here.
All right.
No, no, no, no. He's-He's dressed like an Eskimo here.
Where's your calendar pix?
Look, just 'cause a guy's good lookin'...
doesn't mean the camera's gonna love him.
So how did he handle this rejection then? [ Chuckles ]
He was disappointed, but he took it well.
You-- You can't open that without a search warrant.
Really? I'll tell you what.
If you're not ashamed of anything in there,
all right, you can call the cops.
Yeah. Didn't think so.
Just stop him.
What do you got there? Young Beach Studs.
[ Ben ] Huh. Fraternity Fun.
Twenty-One and Hot.
It's research. [ Lightman ] Ha. All right, I win.
You owe me 10 bucks.
See, whenever anyone says "it's for research," I win.
If they say "that's not mine," then he wins.
So cough up. There you go.
Thank you very much. Congrats.
I think that this calendar thing--
I think it's just an excuse for you to get young men naked in your apartment.
I run a business. Really?
- What's the matter with your leg? - What?
- You heard me. - Nothing.
- Really? - [ Groans ]
- Geez! God! - Ouch.
Liar. Let's have a look.
[ Laughs ] I fell.
See, I think you got fresh with Oliver.
He rejected you. You got angry and violent.
So what happened? Did you kill him?
Look, he's the one who got violent. I--
I rubbed his shoulder, and he hit me with a golf club and left.
Do you know where he was going?
Oh, that's a "no."
[ Ria ] Aw, come on. You're fishing for a job.
Why? Because Jack Rader's made it clear that he appreciates my research?
That I'm welcome there? And I have the most leverage with him now?
Look, face it. This ship is sinking.
So the rats flee?
Well, you know, news of Lightman's mistake is already out there,
and once this lawsuit is filed, this company is finished.
Even if we win, it'll be too late.
Lightman's reputation will be destroyed.
Ours will be damaged alongside it.
Well, what about-- What about loyalty?
Well, you know, the way Lightman insults me on a daily basis,
blind loyalty would just be self-loathing.
And the best time to look for a job is when you already have one.
I need you to pull up Jason Wilkie's final words.
[ Typing ]
The Pied Piper was a ratcatcher who was tricked and didn't get paid.
He stole the children of Hamelin so the rich would remember the day.
I didn't take little Rex. The Pied Piper did.
There are theories that the Pied Piper is the symbol of death--
That the fairy tale was concocted to explain...
a horrible tragedy where children died.
Any news about Oliver Sheridan? He's unaccounted for,
but that doesn't definitely mean that he's been kidnapped.
You don't believe that.
Do you expect us to just share this delusion...
that Lightman is infallible, that Jason Wilkie might not have been innocent?
Without Lightman, you'd be in some university basement doing research,
and you'd still be a glorified baggage handler.
Maybe instead of polishing up your rГ©sumГ©s,
you ought to think about what you can do to help Lightman.
[ Sighs ] Zoe. Uh, Cal's not here.
Um, actually, I came to talk to you.
I'm worried about Cal.
He seems to be handling things in his own unique way.
He won't even speak to me about the case.
He won't even return my phone calls.
I was hoping you could talk to him, Gillian.
You were the only one who could always get through.
That's funny. I always thought that about you.
[ Chuckles ]
The truth is, there's...
probably only one person that can reach him.
- [ Wilkie ] I can fly over the moon. - [ Tape Rewinds ]
I can fly over the moon. Okay? I-I can swim under the sea.
The only one I tell my secrets to is Beth--
- [ Door Opens ] - My poodle.
[ Door Closes ]
Right.
Hey. Hey.
What's goin' on? Nothin'.
So Foster sent you over here to check on me, did she?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Her and Mom.
Well, you tell 'em I'm fine.
Actually, I need to talk to you about Mom.
She's been acting, uh, depressed lately.
Just different.
Well, she is. You know.
But she is a strong woman.
She'll get through it. I mean, I know what's going on.
I know it has to do with that Wilkie guy who was executed.
Yeah. She thinks we might have made a mistake. He might be innocent.
Well, was he?
I don't know.
We can rule out the homeless man and the phone repairman,
based on the old videos, but we're still looking...
at the school bus driver and the phone company supervisor.
The problem with all these old suspects is lack of motive.
I mean, this--
Whoever did this is probably a raving lunatic anyway, so--
Hey. I found something in Wilkie's old interview, right?
He's trying to sound crazy, 'cause he's trying to get off on an insanity plea,
but when he says he only tells his secrets...
to his poodle, Beth, he's not fakin' it.
He had an ex-girlfriend. Her name was Beth Lansford.
I think maybe he tells his secrets to her.
Beth's the key.
Any idea where she is? Yeah. I spoke to her mum.
She signed into a psychiatric hospital two days ago,
which is a bit of a coincidence, don't you think?
Let me give it to you straight, 'cause you don't seem to get it.
Nobody cares about Wilkie's dog or his ex-girlfriend.
- Excuse me? - You're off this case.
And this comes from the top.
- [ Phone Rings ] - That's the Sheridan home phone.
[ Ringing Continues ] You might wanna get that.
- Hello. - [ Childish Voice ] What's green and red...
and goes really fast?
- Frog in a blender. - [ Laughs ] A frog in a blender.
[ Giggles ] [ Faye ] You have a really beautiful voice.
You remind me of my son Oliver, when he was a little boy.
He loves riddles too,
um, and baseball and ice cream.
Good. Good. She keeps humanizing the victim.
[ Faye ] What's your name?
[ Same Caller ] Do you want to know where Oliver is?
[ Faye ] I do.
[ Sniffles ] Yes, I do. I miss him very much.
[ Caller ] Then tell me how you play the game Bloody Murder.
[ Faye Sniffles, Sighs ]
You get in a circle with everyone, and then--
- [ Caller ] That's wrong. - [ Hangs Up ]
[ Beeping ] [ Groans ]
Damn it. The call's coming up as if...
it's coming from 300 different cell phone numbers in Virginia.
We'll never get a trace. I'm off to see Beth.
Go home, Lightman. I'm serious.
You try to do anything related to this case,
and the F.B.I. will drop the entire Lightman Group.
And quite frankly, you're starting to sound a little insane.
- Really? - Really.
I was hoping you'd say that.
He's a bully, and he's a racist.
And just 'cause he's in the F.B.I. doesn't make him a god, right?
Besides, they're telling me to do him in, so--
- The, uh, voices? - Yeah. What? You can't hear 'em?
And they're actually telling you to... kill him? Yeah.
Under a bus or, you know, just shoot him. Whatever.
Do you own a gun? Oh, yeah, I do. Of course I do.
Oh, yeah, it's my right. Yeah. Second amendment.
And what's this F.B.I. agent's name? Why?
- What? You're gonna warn him, are you? - [ Chuckles ]
Look, the point is that I'm the victim here.
He's walking around. He's telling everyone that I'm a psycho.
All right? When he's the one that's driving me crazy.
Look, just calm down. I'm dealing with it, all right?
I would like you to, uh,
stay with us for a while, Mr. Stein.
No. No, no, no, no, no.
I just came here to get those-- you know, those little white pills.
- The ones that help me sleep. - I'm afraid I have to hold you for 72 hours,
for, uh, being a danger to others. Can I have Jell-O?
[ Door Buzzing ]
No "cheeking" your meds, Beth.
Let me see you swallow 'em.
Good. Thank you.
All right, Professor? Good morning, Mr. Stein.
Steen. Steen.
[ Indistinct ]
What've you got? Calm down.
Cheer up, love.
It's a cheery place, this, isn't it? A laugh a minute.
What are you in for? No-- Don't tell me. Let me guess.
O.C.D.? Panic attacks?
Agoraphobia?
- Nymphomania? - I am suicidal.
Now, leave me alone. Oh! Suicide--
I know a thing or two about suicide.
From, you know, an intimate perspective, you might say.
Mind if I join you?
Did you know Jason Wilkie named his poodle after you?
Who the hell are you? Me?
I'm just another nutcase looking for answers, love.
Hey-- Nurse.
No, no, no, no. No, you don't want to do that.
If you call for help, I will bust your little game.
Game? Yeah. You're not suicidal.
You're not even depressed. What you are-- Right? Is scared.
You're scared for your life.
That's why you're hiding in here.
You don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I do.
I do.
You're in the paranoid chair.
It's-It's the best seat in the house.
Really. 'Cause no one can sneak up on you.
See, depressives-- They retreat into themselves.
But you-- You're watching everybody.
What's your point? My point is...
that you checked in here the day that Wilkie was executed.
Right?
Nothin'? Really?
What, are you hard now? Nurse!
Nurse, I've-I've got something to tell you.
No. No, it's okay. Um, I'll-I'll tell you what you want to know.
Could I trouble you for a latte?
That's a bit rude, isn't it?
You were saying?
Uh, a couple of days ago,
I got a call from an old friend of Jason's.
He said he was watching me, that people might ask questions.
He said if I said anything about him and Jason,
he would hunt me down and kill me.
Who was he? I don't know his real name.
Jason called him-- [ Exhales ]
What? What did he call him?
- The Pied Piper. - The Pied Piper?
How did Jason know him-- This Pied Piper character?
He said that they met as kids...
when they were at some summer music camp.
Yeah.
I just-- I had one lager too many last night.
I've called my friend. We're all square, so I'm ready to be released.
And what about the voices telling you to kill him?
What voices? No, it was just the beer talking.
You don't believe me, do you? Well, Mr. Stein, uh--
Steen. Steen.
This is what we call a "flight to recovery." It's always short-lived.
Look, Doctor, I do not have a mental illness.
Terrific. Truly.
Well, if you still don't have one in two days, you'll be discharged.
[ Door Buzzing ]
Well, it was worth a try.
[ Ben ] We found Oliver's car in a ditch off of Route 4.
Looks like somebody may have run him off the road.
Oh, we found this nearby.
That's Oliver's favorite jacket.
[ Phone Ringing ]
[ Ringing Continues ]
[ Ben ] Go on.
Hello.
[ Childish Voice ] What feeds on human blood five times a day?
I don't know. Why don't you tell me? Lice.
What insects fly alone in the dark?
Do you give up?
[ Pants ] Locusts.
- Please. Where's Oliver? - I know,
but you don't.
And what makes you think I can break this hold?
Well, you're the lawyer. You tell me.
Well, you got into this mess by threatening violence.
You could have always checked in voluntarily.
No, I needed to be on the locked ward so I could talk to Beth.
When she mentioned the Pied Piper, she was talking...
about a real person, so now I need to get out of here.
Well, you could call Foster and Reynolds.
They could always handle it.
I already used up my phone privilege when I called you.
So are you gonna help me, or what?
No.
Though I find it fascinating that you feel like...
I'm the only one you can call,
and yet we can't even have a real adult conversation. What do you want to know?
Why don't you try telling me how you really feel?
All right. Um-- Um--
I'm upset and I'm scared.
And I'm really, really, really rattled.
I give up.
What, you actually want me to try to convince the doctor that you're not insane?
It's worth a shot, right?
"Locust" and "darkness"--
None of this is random. He has a plan.
Also, he got angry when Faye didn't know the rules to Bloody Murder.
He's controlling and very detail-oriented.
It's the 10 plagues-- Frogs, lice,
locusts, blood, darkness.
- And the death of firstborn sons. - Yeah.
Rex was the eldest. So is Oliver.
All right, everybody, give us five minutes, okay, please?
Come on, let's go. Let's go.
You know, speaking of lunatics--
When I said you sounded insane, I didn't mean for you to go check into a psych ward.
I know. You went to see Wilkie's ex-girlfriend, didn't you?
Yeah. I couldn't resist it.
And it turns out--
[ Spits ] Wilkie's not working on his own.
Right? "The Pied Piper" is a nickname for a real person.
They went to music camp together.
In the fairy tale, the Pied Piper plays...
some sort of flute or a clarinet.
Maybe that's what he played at music camp.
Well, you know, whoever it is, he's got all the answers.
You do know that I'm not gonna just walk away from this?
So tell the Bureau to fire me,
and to find another Lightman Group.
- Good luck on that, by the way. - Yeah, just be right this time.
[ Phone Beeping ] I'll do my level best.
You okay? Yeah, I'm fantastic.
I'm here if you need me.
You know that, right? Yeah.
I know that, love.
Oh! Hello.
So, Mom has some pictures laid out from the Wilkie trial,
a few months after you guys met.
She's looking a little rounder than usual.
And? And we've never really discussed it before,
but I'm pretty good at math. Your point being?
I was born seven and a half months after you guys married.
Would you believe that you were premature?
At eight pounds, eight ounces?
No, your mom was pregnant when I married her.
You couldn't have just come out and told me that?
No, we didn't want to celebrate our mistakes, have you go on and copy 'em.
Oh, so I was a mistake? Course not.
So how'd it happen?
Were-Were you drunk? Was it just a one-night stand?
Did you even go on a date first?
Yes, no, and yes.
What's the matter, eh?
Did you only marry Mom because you got her pregnant?
No, no. Of course not. I'm not that much of a gentleman.
No. Be serious.
I want to know if I'm the reason you guys spent 14 miserable years together.
Look. I married your mum because I loved her.
You comin' along just helped me pull the trigger.
Plus, they were by no means...
14 miserable years.
[ Kisses ]
So... I didn't, like--
like, ruin your life, or something like that?
No, no. You were the best news I ever got.
Yeah. Still are.
So you were drunk-- Yeah.
it wasn't a one-night stand-- No.
and you were dating. Yeah.
I married your mum 'cause I loved her.
If I had to do it all over again, yeah.
No. I take that back.
Studies have shown that the strongest deterrent to a lawsuit is familiarity--
a personal relationship-- so I figure I establish a rapport with Kevin,
it'll be that much harder for him to sue, knowing it'll affect my livelihood.
Well, I'm going with you...
because if this works, I'm not letting you take all the credit...
for saving Lightman. And if it doesn't work?
Then it's all your fault, and I'm gonna call the Rader Firm...
and set up an interview.
So anyway, we just-- We just wanted to come by and see how you were doing.
Last time we saw you, you were pretty upset--
understandably so-- and, uh--
We-- We brought you some pastries.
I know firsthand what stress can do. It-- It can--
You call what I've been going through just stress?
Dr. Lightman tried to stop the execution,
and he's devoted himself to the case.
He's very close to finding someone else who may have been involved.
That doesn't change the fact that Jason is dead because your boss made a mistake.
Let's cut to the chase. Why are you really here?
Mr. Wilkie-- To convince me not to sue Lightman.
I know this might seem pretty weird, but, um,
if there's anything you need,
or if you just want to talk or something,
there's my number.
It was really nice getting to know you.
Thank you.
No one can even look me in the eye these days,
so I appreciate it.
Maybe I'll hold off on suing Lightman till I learn what he finds.
I did not hurt that little boy.
You want me to confess, but I won't.
[ Tape Backing Up ]
I did not hurt that little boy.
You want me to confess, but I won't. [ Phone Ringing ]
Lightman. [ Childish Voice ] Do you know...
who the first liar in the world was?
The devil.
In the Bible he's called "the Father of Lies."
Is Zoe a lawyer, or a liar?
No, if we're playing 20 questions here,
I think it's my turn.
What's your deal with eldest sons?
* Do you know where your daughter is *
Can she come out and play?
- [ Beeps ] - [ Recorded Voice ] Dial by name.
- Emily. - Emily.
- [ Line Ringing ] - Emily.
[ Zoe ] Cal, it's me. Emily left her phone here.
She went to see you. She left my place about an hour ago.
We've got a problem.
Hannah said she never picked up Emily. Tell me exactly what happened.
I got a call on my private line asking me if I knew where Emily was.
Was it him? What did he say?
Yeah, this is Cal Lightman calling for Agent Reynolds.
Well, find him! Tell him it's an emergency.
What did he say? The F.B.I. will start a search.
We should just call Emily's friends.
What? I-I told you Haley was picking me up.
We were just getting something to eat.
You said Hannah.
No, I said Haley.
First, there are the phone calls, then he takes your child.
That's the pattern.
Let's just go through all this stuff again.
What's in that box?
[ Sighs ] Photos that Wilkie's mother gave me during the trial...
to prove that Jason was a good boy.
Rex was kept alive for three days.
- News clippings aren't relevant. - Everything is relevant.
There's a killer after our daughter, and the only way to keep her safe is to catch him.
You don't get to decide what is and isn't relevant.
That's precisely what the killer wants.
He wants to panic us into stopping our search.
The best way that we can end this is to find him.
I just want to keep her safe.
Well, the F.B.I.'s parked right outside, love.
[ Sobs ] I can't take any more.
You can do this.
[ Sniffles ]
Those photographs from Wilkie's mum--
Are they, uh-- Are they from when he was a kid? Yeah.
Right. The Pied Piper and Jason knew each other when they were kids,
so there might be something there.
[ Sighs ]
Kevin's the youngest. Right? Mmm.
Well, look at the body language.
I mean, he's clearly in control. He's dominant.
And the other two, the older two, they just-- They adore him.
And who's the older one?
William.
Wilkie's mother said that her oldest son, William,
died of pneumonia when he was just a kid.
Oh, my God. It was Kevin.
Yeah. With a clarinet.
Kevin is the Pied Piper.
Right? He made the phone calls. He kidnapped Rex.
But he had Jason kill him.
They were partners. Why?
It was revenge for the death of their eldest brother, William.
William came down with pneumonia...
after their father lost his job at the Home Fed Diner.
Right. Now, the diner was torn down by the Sheridan Company.
Part of their first development deal.
The family was worried about money, so they didn't take him to the hospital.
- He died after three days. - So they blamed the Sheridan family enough to kill Rex?
And after Jason was executed, Kevin had to take revenge again.
All right, so we found Kevin's car at the train station.
He's long gone, and there's no sign of Oliver at his house.
We must've tipped him off when we went to talk to him.
We told him Lightman was close to finding the culprit.
Well, if his M.O. is to kill the victim on the third day,
Oliver could be dead already.
[ Ben ] All right, get the lights.
[ Radio Chatter ]
The G.P.S. on Kevin's car shows us he was here three days ago.
He was the chief engineer on this project...
before it was shut down about a month ago.
All right, everybody, keep your eyes and your ears open.
- Let's fan out. - [ Man, Indistinct ]
[ Man #2 ] Cover me.
Whoa, whoa. Shh, shh, shh!
[ Scraping ]
Do you hear that?
There's someone in there. Give me something to open this up with.
Come on, come on. Yeah. Here you go.
- Oh! Damn! - [ Squealing ]
Geez! [ Laughs ]
[ Man On Radio ] Affirmative. We're gonna pick that up.
I hate rats.
Prichard, you stay with Lightman. You three, come with me.
We're goin' to check upstairs.
This doesn't belong here.
Here, hold this for me.
Oliver? Can you hear me?
[ Indistinct ]
[ Grunts ]
- [ Sharp Groan ] - Hold it right there! Don't move!
Cal, you okay? [ Man ] Take him away.
Yeah, he's in the wall.
Let me see your hands. Check on Oliver.
Come on. We got an agent down. Right on it.
[ Groaning ]
[ Siren Blaring ] [ Radio Chatter ]
Mr. Sheridan? I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry about being such an ass earlier. No. Forget it.
And thank you-- for everything. Pleasure.
Hey, you're bleeding. You sure you don't want to go to the hospital?
No, no. These guys are gonna patch me up.
How about, uh, Wilkie? We found the equipment he used to make the calls.
He's not talking yet, but he's stable. Stable? He's an animal.
If I had my way, he wouldn't be talking at all.
Good stuff.
[ Speaking Latin ]
Oh, turn that off.
- Are you okay? - Peachy.
I got hold of Jason Wilkie's surveillance tape just before his execution.
His final prayer was in Latin.
It was a confession of sins.
Maybe it was his way of taking the blame for-for killing Rex Sheridan.
Yeah. Well, I'd like to think this is all over,
but, you know, I've been wrong before.
We never doubted you, Cal. Really?
Not for a second. Really?
- I had your back. - Oh, yeah?
Well, I had an exit plan too.
Yeah. Jack Rader. Well, I'd have done the same thing.
Pay's better.
Aaah! Ooh, sorry.
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Oh, I'm doing nothing of the sort. I'm like Florence Nightingale.
You know, you could make your life a whole lot easier...
if you would just admit that you need people.
You don't have to be such a lone wolf, Cal. Do me a favor.
What with you two and Foster and the rest of the group,
it's like a three-ring bloody circus. You know what I mean.
Let the record reflect that Zoe Landau is correct.
You happy now? Ecstatic.
[ Mutters ] Don't move.
Okay, you're all set.
Really? Yeah. Let's go get something to eat.
Uh, hey, I'm sorry you guys thought I was missing earlier.
You know, I thought of the perfect solution...
- that'll make sure that never happens again. - Oh, yeah? Let's hear it.
Buy me a car. I mean, think about it.
You'll-- You'll never have to get confused about who's picking me up.
Oh, that's clever, that is.
Yeah, well, she gets her craftiness from you. Yeah, not bloody likely.
So, uh, is that a "yes"?
Dream on, darling.
